You've been carrying this longer than you planned to.

EMDR intensives for women in Dublin, Ohio and virtually across the state.

Maybe you're in the thick of postpartum and nothing feels the way you thought it would. Maybe infertility has taken up more space in your life than you ever agreed to give it. An intensive is a few focused days of real processing instead of another year of 50-minute hours, so you can stop managing this and start moving through it.

Does any of this sound familiar?

  • Parts of your birth still replay in your mind when you least expect it.

  • You're running on empty because everyone else comes first.

  • Every month brings the same cycle of hope and heartbreak.

  • Something is "over," and your body hasn't gotten the memo.

  • You've done talk therapy, you can explain exactly what happened to you, and nothing has actually shifted.

Who these intensives are for

Postpartum & birth trauma

Your birth didn't go the way you expected, parts of it still surface without warning, and you're carrying it quietly while taking care of everyone else.

Infertility

The two-week wait, the appointments, the grief nobody around you counts as a loss. That deserves more than another coping strategy.

Something happened, and even though it's behind you, your body still reacts like it's happening now.

What is an EMDR intensive?

Instead of one hour a week for a year, we work in concentrated blocks — a half day, a full day, or several days — with real preparation beforehand and time to integrate afterward. You stop spending the first twenty minutes of every session climbing back to where you left off, and the work keeps its momentum instead of resetting every Tuesday.

Therapist Erin Zipfel having coffee in her office in Dublin, Ohio

I'm a licensed independent social worker (LISW-S) with perinatal mental health certification (PMH-C), and I've spent ten years with women in exactly these seasons. Weekly therapy can circle the same pain for years without real relief — not for lack of effort, but because the format isn't built for how trauma actually resolves. Intensives are the most meaningful work I get to do, and it's why I've made them the center of my practice.
